TXTPay Allows Merchants To Accept Bitcoin Via SMS

Philippines, 21st of September – Bitmarket.ph, a product of Satoshi Citadel Industries, Inc. (SCI), has just launched its new point of sale system “TxtPay”. The system utilizes SMS to allow merchants to accept Bitcoin payment for their transactions. Compared to some products like 37coins that allow receiving and sending of Bitcoin via SMS, and Text2pay which allows customers to pay via SMS, Bitmarket.ph’s TxtPay enables merchants to receive these payments without an Internet connection or an Android Tablet device.

Bitmarket.ph is positioned as a payment processor, merchant directory and marketplace for merchants in the Philippines. Transactions are processed using real-time BTC to PHP exchange rates and successful transactions are remitted in as fast as 24 hours or the next banking day. Merchants are protected from the volatility of the Bitcoin price because they still get the cash value of their transactions. Bitmarket currently runs on a web app, Android tablet POS, API and now an SMS gateway.

With Internet connections in the Philippines recorded as one of the most expensive and slowest in the ASEAN region and most small business owners and mom and pop stores on tight budgets to acquire a POS, TxtPay makes it quick and convenient to transact with a digital currency.

John Bailon, Co-Founder and Chief Technological Officer of SCI says this of TxtPay: “Nobody really thinks about the “sari-sari” stores or bazaar and pop-up stalls, when it comes to electronic cash payments. With Bitmarket.ph’s TxtPay, we have established the SMS point of sale system to allow and enable all these smaller merchants to accept Bitcoin payments at a lower cost.”

SCI continues to be at the top of its game by creating such innovating systems to facilitate Bitcoin adoption in their country. They were the first company to bring in a Bitcoin ATM to the Philippines, as well as producing different products under their umbrella to promote Bitcoin awareness.
